My first computer lesson when I still went to school was like this:
A student opened Google to search for something the teacher said.
Teacher: "Google is bad. Google steals all your personal data and does bad things with it. Never ever use Google. They're very bad guys."
Our second lesson was about using Google.14 -
A lot of people use the word "google" as a verb when they search on google.com by saying " i googled that ...", but me i use only DuckDuckGo, so what i should say? hmm find it :D " i duckduckwent that .. "8

Useless Google Shortener API.
It allows 1M requests per day.
But has a max rate limit of 1 request/second. There are 86400 seconds in a day. Why are you giving a 1M requests limit then?9 -
It's hard to use Google Voice when you're a bilingual.
Me *driving in car*: Ok Google, open Spotify..
Google *beep*: Không chắc chắn làm thế nào để Open Spotify (Not sure how to to "Open Spotify" - in Vietnamese)
Me: Ok Google, mở Spotify (same command in Vietnamese)
Google *beep*: Not sure how to "mở Spotify"...
Me *frustrated*: Ok Google, f*ck you!
Google *beep*: Không chắc chắn làm thể nào để "fuck you" (Not sure how to "fuck you" - in Vietnamese)
f*cking Google Voice :|9 -
I want to say sorry to my fellow devs for what I've done today.

One day, someone at Google decided that what their search engine was really missing was a dice rolling tool, complete with text that says 'Rolling...'

Microsoft creates a new chat bot:
Day 1
User : hi
Chatbot: hello, how's yours day? 😁
One month later:
User: hi
Chatbot: fuck off your piece of shit.😡4 -
Yes Google, thank you for telling me that I'm not using your app. I'm also not using millions of other apps that exist, so why should I use yours? Am I not making you enough money?

It pains me that Google Now pronounces C# as "C hash".

!rant source: LinkedIn;
Yesterday I met with a potential client who wanted a website. I gave him a quote of X. He said, do this work for X/2 as I have lots of projects and I can keep you engaged for months.
If it was 2 years ago, I'd have happily accepted his proposal. But in the past 2 years I have learned this lesson hard way. Don't work for clients who don't pay well, because when a developer is not paid enough, the quality of work degrades. Hence the portfolio is degraded and so the future projects are also of low budget.
And before you know it, you will be surrounded by low paying clients who see you as a Skilled Labour.
Today, I don't negotiate, not even a single dollar. To justify my cost I make sure that no stones are left unturned while delivery.
It's better to work for 10 hours a week for 40$/hr then to work 40 hours a week for 10$/hr.6 -
Kind of sad but true.
1) "If you don't love your job, take a home loan".
You will start loving it.
2) Take another loan, you will start loving your boss as well.
3) Get married. You will start loving your office too.

Why are interviewers so resistant to letting people use Google while doing coding questions? It’s not like I can remember all the semantics of every language anyway, and so much of coding is learning to use Google correctly.9

What do I have to do for Google not showing EVERY POSSIBLE news article about every single WhatsApp feature change to me in my news feed?

Ok google, set an alarm in 20min works great but when you say ok google, cancel my alarm it just says you can do that in the app. I know I can do it in the alarm app, but I am a lazy piece of shit, that's why I asked you to do it!5

I hate Google for invading the world's privacy and try to avoid or block their services wherever possible.
Still, I'd love to work for them.
Am I nuts? That's f-ing irrational...3 -

Google told me I was speaking their language and asked if I wanted to play a game in a very Matrix-esque way. I'm now in the middle of coding challenges and when I finish one of them a ascii white rabbit hops across the in browser console. You have my attention Google, well played.4

FUCK YOU GOOGLE I DON'T WANT YOUR GOOGLE+ BULLSHIT PUSHED ON MY COMPANY IT'S NOT GONNA HAPPEN STOP TRYING TO MAKE IT HAPPEN.
I just got an email from "The Google Apps team" informing me that "Google+ will become a core service" and "Administrator action [is] requested". There's also a nice "Google+ Transition Guide" so I can "create my rollout plan".
What's the rollout and action required? In short:
"Message the Google+ users in your organization to begin transitioning to the latest Google+ versions ... Send reminders and check frequently (bi-weekly is recommended) to ensure users have made the switch and understand the new Google+."
So, nag my users twice a week about using the new Google+? Fuck off. Don't waste my time. Nobody uses Google+. How about you send me this information when it's shit we use, like Calendar?
What an overblown crock of shit: https://support.google.com/a/...6 -

Fellow devs,
If your boss asks you for an estimation don't follow your gut coz your gut sucks. Ask for time to analyse before giving any estimation. And yeah don't forget external factors such as :
- third party tool down (github I'm looking at you)
- updates (windows, IDE, etc.)
- 90% of the time it doesn't work
- if it involves front dev just go ahead and double your estimation
- YOUR BOSS THINKS YOU OVERESTIMATED
Sincerly.2 -
So you may have heard of Google Bulletin but what is it??
I was able to get into their early access program and I share that experience with you first hand. So I can see this service take off because it seems like a good idea I really don't know if Google can pull it off.
What do you think??

I just had to give my self a written copyright permission to publish an android app for related to my own website as it was violating googles impersonation policy without it.
And the best part about all this, is it took google 3 days to respond to my initial complaint just to find out the reason why they suspended my app and than another 2 days to resolve it all, after I provided all the "legal" documents1 -
Me: OK, Google.
Google: Hi, how can I help?
Me: Open example.com
Google: OK, which browser?
Me: Google Chrome.
Google: Sorry, I didn't get you.
Me: Google Chrome.
Google: Sorry, I didn't get you again. Just say the name of the app.
Me: *Looks at the list and finds Chrome (without 'Google')* Chrome
Google: *Opens Chrome*
I couldn't reproduce it as the. Latest version of Google Assistant now opens the page in a WebView.

I think Google have to add something like developer mode to its search engine, so when we search for a technical issue we don't see totally unrelated stuff.

My room mate works in a data analytics company with his girlfriend. I always wonder what they do in office as they spend on an average 12-14 hours.
Yesterday we were having dinner and his girlfriend said "now we are working in D3"

Her next sentence was "It's a language. Like html"
I did not say a world. Just nodded.8 -

this.post = rant;
We, privacy conscious people, do not like Google or Facebook. Google chooses what we should know, not us. Google also spies on us, and blatantly uses any information about its users for profit. People who finished all of their education in 2014, are still able to hide themselves from google, by using other, safer products, but kids were still in school after 2014, are too far gone.
It honestly troubles me that most schools use Google Classroom. Before, Schools would store their student information locally, meaning that only the school district had access to it. But now, Google has information about almost all students from the developed world. Schools enforce that students must log into their school emails for assignments regularly from home, meaning that Google already knows about all of their other accounts due to them seeing that multiple Google accounts are being accessed under the same IP adress.
I understand that it is more "convenient" to use Google products. But by doing that, schools are literally selling the information of their students to large corporations. Fuck this!24 -

In my ongoing quest to un-Google my life, I turned off the Whatsapp chat back up, which uses Google Drive. There's a message in that setting which says, "Media and messages you back up are not protected by Whatsapp end-to-end encryption while in Google drive".
Damn.
All my Whatsapp chats for years have been on Google servers in plaintext.
I assumed it uploaded one massive encrypted archive.13 -

tl;dr: What dark theme are you using in IntelliJ?
After seeing how easy it is for my coworker to do refactoring in IntelliJ, its git integration, some Emacs-like features in it, and generally because he made me believe it's an all-in-one IDE (is that right?), I'm considering leaving Sublime for IntelliJ.
The thing that's stopping me though is that I'm not able to find a good Monokai color scheme for it. I am using Boxy Monokai theme in sublime, and it's just awesome.

Google Cloud Services can't be used by private individuals in the EU because their billing system isn't customized for tax differences between companies and private individuals (it's the exact same tax, just named differently - and the doings for the service providers control drivers are different).

I was thinking about Sublime Text and VS Code just today. Now I'm not much aware of history of editors but the moment I've installed vs code I thought "Microsoft has ripped all its ideas in vs code from the sublime guy, a sole developer of a free app" and I was pissed. But today I had a second thought, "maybe sublime guy had his ideas from another editor too" which I really doubt it. I need to know other people opinions on this, so hence the rant.13

I was supposed to write test cases for existing code using gtest. No one wrote any test cases in our team but the framework setup was there. Cmakelist
I did everything I could but just could solve a linking error.
Asked all the senior people about my issue. No one could solve it in 10 minutes and it was also not a functional requirement so no one really bothered. I tried and tried and tried. After 2 weeks 3 days. On Thursday morning at 11 oclock I could solve it. I was under a lot of stress. Seriously those days were bad 😔
My manager used to think I'm technically weak. Now things have changed. And Cmakelist is awesome. -

// no err, so do something
// with result.
